Boss Battles of Dolls and Queens
🕑 Added 2022-01-15 00:36:24 +0000 UTCDear Insane Children,
Just a quick update to share some new art and wish you a happy weekend.
First up, we have a sketch from Adam depicting Lizzie trapped inside a pocket watch designed by The Dollmaker. Alice will encounter this during her boss fight sequence with Bumby/Dollmaker...

And it allows her to complete Lizzie's narrative arc as established in Madness Returns.
Up next... Omri sent over the final scenes from the 2nd Queen boss fight sequence...



These images were a collab between Norm (lines) and Omri (colors). And they turned out great!
Let Adam, Omri, and Norm know what you think in the comments below!
Lastly, I don't know if it's been mentioned here on Patreon much (I've been trying to avoid too much Plushie Dreadful creep)... but we did release a plush bunny relevant to Alice's journey. And, no, it's not her Distressed White Rabbit.
It's a PTSD Bunny...

PTSD Bunny is now available in the Mysterious Shop:
Head over to learn more about this bunny's theme and story. It's my favorite design we've ever done!
If all goes to plan... there will be a live stream next week.
And (FINGERS CROSSED) hopefully we're announcing that big news soon as well. (Hurry up already!!!)
From Shanghai with Love,

Love this art! This is so fantastical!
Sarah McKeegan
Love it!! It looks amazing!
After very very very many playtroughs of Maddness Returns I still find that boss fight Bumby extremely creepy.. Love the colors on the pictures of the Queen. And I just now watched the latest stream and cannot even express how much I would love a puzzle! Hope to hear soon about the news!

That is some great art. Lizzie in the pocket watch is beyond chilling.

Gosh, imagine if you could commision a PHYSICAL version of Lizzie in the pocketwatch, especially if it was for limited purchase!...that...would...rule! Though i guess EA would get in the way at pre-production stage? In the future perhaps? Secondly the artwork is top tier once again! Adam your design for the Pocket watch is sublime, and i cannot wait to see where you take the concept within its finer details. And I always love a collaboration! Omri and Norm the work is fantastic, i am just imagining you both working on a comic together, as the results are jaw dropping, and drops me straight into the scene!

So good as always Would honestly like a pin of the top drawing. Just remembered.. American, weren't you talking about creating something of a clock or lamp for yourself some time ago? Did life happen between then and now, as it does?

Looking good as always on the art front! And I’ll keep my fingers crossed that the big news can be shared too!

Oh I am eager for that Queen boss fight, love seeing her in classic illustration form!
I love the boss fight images! I'm really enjoying them! That Queen is so cool looking I'm happy to have a solid visual of her! I'm also loving that creepy image of lizzie in the pocket watch and that she's sort of like a doll.
